Line-ups confirmed for Premier League clash


Catch up with all the action from Manchester City vs Fulham in the Premier League

Manchester City have the chance to go within three points of Premier League leaders Arsenal if they beat Fulham tonight.

The chasers picked up a huge win over Liverpool last time out, with two late goals completing the comeback and reigniting their title charge.

Tonight’s opponents appear more manageable, although Pep Guardiola will be wary of this Fulham side.

The Cottagers are pushing for a European spot themselves, and will not make life easy for City at the Etihad.
